Yes, you read right: "S-A-B-R-E," the brittish spelling. So nya nya nya! *LOL*
I am in need of information on the Sabre. I am looking namely for information from the fact files, the cut-away picture, and anything else that you folks could help me with. I have collected already much information on the Sabre, however this is largely conjecture and/or conflicting canon information.

Yeah, I know, it is the proper spelling. I was laughing because many people around here like to call it the "Saber." Anyhow, my request for some help still stands. Thanks.

Not to instigate a flamewar, but I also like to favor sabres, metres, calibres and such. As for right and wrong, it's more a matter of new and old. And since english often tend to spell things differently than they sound anyway, I've gotten used to 're'. It is also more aesthetically pleasing.
About the Sabre, I hope you've knocked a few apocrypha regarding her. Early in her existence, the rumour was spread that she had two warpcores, quantum torpedoes and two tricobalt devices in storage. Of course, UP said that about every ship in their inventory, I don't know why. Regardless, I think you can exclude those from your database...

Might as well add that us Canucks do the same thing.

Wow. That was funny, I thought it WAS in the starshiips forum! Oh well, whatever.
I am still collecting infroamtion on the Sabre, both screencaps and written information, but I can assure you that quantum torpedoes, tricobalt devices, and an extra warp core (I don't know where the hell that tidbit of information came form) won't have any part of the new UP Sabre information.
All things considered, the Sabre appears to be an average ship. From the information I've collected to this point, it is inferior in armament to the Intrepid, has a lesser array of scientific equipment, and is like a cheaper version of the Akira. Really I don't htink that the FC ships had enough thought put into them. The Akira seems to have been the main focus for new sips introduced in FC, the others getting the major shaft.

Yep. The Akira was the favorite ship out of the three by the designer Alex Jaeger so he made more attention to it than the others. Meanwhile the Steamrunner, Norway, and Saber-classes were left with minor attention to detail.
And yes, I spelled it S-a-b-e-r. Both ways are correct, it's just a matter of location. And being in America I spell it 'er' instead of 're', and leave the u's out of color.

The SAbre is not the only one with a forward shuttlebay. The Steamrunner and Akira class have that as well.

I thought the Streamrunner Class ships had a rear facing shuttlebay. At least, this is the impression I gained from reading the thread about the latest issue of the Star Trek: Magazine.
Talking about shuttlebays on First Contact ships, is there evidence of a shuttlebay on the Norway Class ship? If so, is the shuttlebay situated on the bow or the stern?

The Steamrunner and Akira have shuttlebays on both sides of the saucer section.
